It'sHi r.Imost a certainty that the lad withB,v the color scheme for a back monickerH I will be in the mixing, however, andH ho'll bo wearing the uniform of a CubB and he cavorting around under theBf management of John Evers.HBVBi Jimmy made good in the season justM passed, and, although there's been aM lot of regular rumors to the effect thatH the Cub pitching staff would hae toHj be strengthened for next year, it's al-Hl most a family jewel bet that Laven-H der will he among those present.H Jimmy's chief stunt during the flura-H mcr past was to stop Rube Marquard.You all know that the Rube was outH on a record-breaking tour, and that itH was the youthful recruit who put theHj I crimp in him. Lavender broke up aH winning streak which looked like aHL. i blue ribbon winner.H The recruit was born and bred aSoutherner and is proud of the fact.H He's got no use for any tribe thatH shades to the ebony hue, which wasH i best shown back in his minor leagueHft days, when he was asked to twirl aHh game against a team of Cubans. Lav-H ender immediately rebelled and saidHP in a few words that he'd rather quitKt the game than go on the mound andHF fling at the boys from the island,H In his early days Lavender had noH thought of being a baseball player.B He went to the Georgia Tech, whereHl ho took up the study of mechanicalHj engineering, and it wasn't until he hadH I reached the age of 21 that he definlte-ly decided to take up the nationalK" pastime as a profession. Prior to thatH Mine he had only played a little, notH even trying for a place on the collegeH nine, but contenting himself with anoccasional game pitched for his classteam.In 1906 ho started with the Augustateam in the South Atlantic league.Next year he was promoted to theVirginia league, and in 1908 he joinedthe Holyoke team In the Connecticutleague. It was while he was with thisclub that he was called upon to twirlagainst the Cubans and refused to doso.In the fall of that same year Providence drafted Jimmy from the Hoiyoke aggregation and for the next fewsummers he was destined to obscuritywith that club, which was noted forits race for the cellar position eachsucceeding season.Last .spring Jimmy was "wished on"the We3t Side team He was notdrafted because the Cubs wanted him,but becauso Montreal wanted him aspart payment for tho release of WardMiller to Chicago.Scouts had watched Lavender pitchwhen he was with the Providence club,but the price placed on him by thatclub seemed to be too high, and hedrifted along with the obscure crowduntil he Tvas wished on the West SidebunchThose who have followed the gamefigure that Lavender will be a big helpto the Cubs, in 1913. He's not a flashtwirler, hut he's learned the art offlinging slowly and thoroughly andthey expect him to do great things inthe coming yearHe Is a spitball pitcher by reputation, but uses cruves and a "fast one"much oftener than the fellows in thegallery think he does. He keeps thebatsmen guessing and generally putsthe first one over with telling effectCOOK TO REFEREEWOLGAST BOUTHiram Cook, the veteran who refereed the Jim Corbett-Pcter Jackson,Dempsey-Lablanche and Dixon -Weirring battles, and was a famous arbiter 20 years ago, may be tho thirdman In the ring when Ad Wolgastand Willie Ritchie meet on Thanksgiving day.

Hecould be bad If he wanted to, but ItIsn't his nature to fuss"These fights between ball playersare great to read and hear about.When a fight does take place no oneeor gets to hear about it."WIFE COACHESFRENCH BOXERIt is rather unusual for a womanto be mixed up In any way in a boxingmatch, but Mme. Isabelle Til, wife ofPaul Til, the French lightweight, hasbeen making a name for herself InAustralia Mrs Til, who Is a cleverlittle French woman, attends all thefights In which her "hubby" Is ongaged, and is always at the ringsideto watch Paul's every movement During the recent battle between Til andYoung McCoy at Sydney the littleFrenchman received a straight left onthe nose, and the claret began to flowThe little Frenchwoman could notstand for this, and rushed to the office of the management and protcsced that McCoy was not fighting fair,but hitting In tho clinches which shesaid woul'l not be tolerated inFrance However, the rules were nottransgressed according to the referee,and everything went along smoothlyifter Paul had his face doused withtle sponge. "It was the first time Iever saw blood on Paul's face." saidMr6. Til, "and, of course. I thoughtmatters were worse than they reallywere " She had forgotten all aboutthe incident tho day following, andhelped to entertain many ladies at thestadium with a pink tea, which is allI the rage there nowadays, these matinees being given once a week for thefair sex.WATHEN BUYS THELOUISVILLE CLUBA meeting of the American association magnates was held in Chicago Friday when the sale of tho Louisville club to O.

Itmeans that some baseball deal Is on.for they are not particularly fond ofeach other.Tho whole thing hinges on, whatJohnny Evers was willing to give fora coupe of likely ball players. Huggins had a couple, but he could notbe persuaded to put Arnold Hauseron the market, and that was wherethe long discussion came in, Everswants a shortstop and he wants Haueer if he can get him, but the pepperylittle St. Louis leader put the N.

On account of the death ofVice President James S. Sherman,who had been renominated by theRepublicans, there is a vacancy onthe Republican national ticket. Republican presidential electors are atliberty to fill this vacancy when thevmeet to deliver the vote of theirstatos. There Is a strong sentimentin favor of casting the eight votesof Utah and Vermont for some prominent Republican from ono of thesestates.Eph Homer of Provo, presidentialelector from Utah, yesterday' starteda boom for Mrs." Margaret ZaneWItcher for tho place made vacanton the ticket by the death of VicePresident Sherman. Of course, therewould be only eight votes cast forMrs. Witchcr, but the. fact that thishas been the first time a woman hasbeon suggested for the place of vicepresident is in itself a signal honor.Thus far, Vermont has submitted nocandidate for the vice presidency, andit would appear that tiiero was morothan a possibility that Mrs, WItchermight be solected by the Utah andVermont electors to receive this complimentary vote.-ooTROOPS BURNINGTO ENTERCAPITALLondon, Nov 20.
